"See these letter " said the
s , manager of a
West Madison stieot employment agency ,
ndicatlng a bundle of correspondence that
md accumulated on bis table "They are
all from girls who have never worked for
wages in their lives , but who have good
homes They want to como to Chicago , and
each ono of them tells mo she knows of from
three to ten other gltls in like mind
"Some of them explain the fact that they
can do sowing or embroidorj' as well as plnlii
and fancv cooking , and that thov are 'ac
customed to children. ' They think they
ought to have at least $ ) a week In onlj a
few cases have thej- asked mo to get them
places for as high as f 1 "
"What are wo goimr to do for servant
gills' " was asked the manager of n North
Clark stieet Intelligence ofllco
"What ate vo going to do for places for
our servant gills that is the question , " re
plied the good woman , tipping back in her
easy chair and fanning her comely face w 1th
i just read letter "Seo this "
It was an application from a girl in Mar
shall , Mich , asking if the manager could get
lier a place as laundress in a good fnmllj-
not too big a famllvat Chicago , where she
could get something-in-the way of wages
uid could nt the samojjime have her freedom
one aaj each week
'Sho is the first onfr'vv ho has asked for
moio than half a day rf iveek , " said tbo man
ager "Most of them 'want ' onlj' half a day
ind seem to think if they have that rcgu-
larlj all through the fair they can see all
theio is to see "
The joung woman explained that she was
a "good washer and hajior , " only that she
could not "do up men's collars and cuffs as
well as the steam lauiftfry in Grand Rapids "
She sajs she is 23 jfcaj-s old , that she is
strong nnd willing to do' , whatever there Is
for her and In the way the ladjof the bouse
desires. And all she nsks is $ . ! a week and
ono day off There nrq scores of women who
want to como to the city during the World's
fair and who will work f6r low wages and at
anj' honest work if ttican \ \ only have a
portion of the time in.-Avhlch to visit the
fair "
Will It lower the wages of those now In
the cltj I"
"Not tbo good girls now at work. But the
kind that are forever changing from ono
place to another , and the kind that either
don't know their business or will not do their
duty , it will make every difference in the
world. It will slmplykeep them outof work
altogether till the fair is over. "
The reporter took a crosstown line and
went over to State street.
"Is it a fact , " ho asked of an employment
agent there , "that the servant girls are
going to demand an incioaso of wages as
soon cs the fair opens ! "
"There was some talk of it , " replied the
woman , looking up from a letter that nero
the postmark of Rlpon , Wls "But things
seem rather cloudy for them now. "
"Why ] "
"Because there seems to bo a flood of girls
coming to the city from out of town w ho will
work for oven less wages than tbe regular
girls are getting now.
"Ono minister wrote mo about a girl at
Wheatland , In. , who had applied for a place.
Ho said she was a most excellent giilin every
vvaj' , nnd ho respected her for daring to pay
her way in this honorable manner. "
Thoieporter hunted up an employment
bureau near the corner of State and Madi

son."What is this story about servant girls
going to raise wages to $10 a week when the
fair opens ? " ho asked of the gentle little
lady in charge.
"Well , from the applications wo are
getting from out of the tow n , there doesn'l
seem to bo anything in it , " said the j oung
woman.
"From whom out of town are jou getting
applications ! "
"Oh , girls all over the country. Hero it
ono clear from Omaha. This is the third
letter I have had from her. She wants n
place hero in the city where she can worli
for something like ? . ! n week and bo per
mitted ono day each week to go to the fair
She says If I can get places for them she can
bring ten girls to the city by the middle of
Muy "
"Yes , I have heard of the promised in
vasion of servant girls , ' said the man man
ager of the oldest and strongest Intelligence
ofllco In town , "I have talked It over w Itli
a good many other agents for the employ-
inent of female help , and tills Is the con
clusion wo have como to The Woild's fair
will bring lots of girls hundicds of thorn
to Chicago , just as it has brought and will
bring workers in every other class Some
will como because they want to see the fair
Others will como because thoj- believe the
wages hero will bo better this summer thai
can bo secured anywhere else. Many ol
them will bo capable and experienced
servants Oh , yes , many w ill bo girls whc
do not work out as n general thing Ami
taken altogether , the KUpplj' will doubtless
bo far In excess of thd'dcliiand "
"Aro not the servanffefrls now here sum
ciently combined to compel a uniform scali
of wages ? " AOJ
"No , they are not combined at all. Thov
are not the sort of material out of whicl
combinations can bo nwdc They will sim
ply demand higher waves , nnd will bo dis
charged for their paiift Why , Now Yorl
city alone w 111 send 300 .servant girls to Chicago
cage this summer Of course , they have
been getting high wages perhaps as high a ;
our own girls hero But when they tlm
there is not enough work for all of their
what can they do ! They will cither hav <
to go homo worse , offtlinn they came , 01
they will have to accept the reduced wage ;
made by the largo number of girls they lint
in the city But tho"tieavlest blow to tin
threatened strike for ftfpa week will bo thU
influx of girls of good family who want u
see the fair , nnd who vvrjl take this means o
paying their way *
' And that Is the story all over town. Tin
threatened strike of the servant girls hai
been mot by an inundation of better hel |
than wo hire now , which help will bo satis
